#14: [引取り] Taking over

The banquet gave Shiro the time to justify his curse marks and why he has all of them, though the king or kings, Akumu Eiji had a hunch that Shiro is the second coming of the founder himself, though he has no evidence, he's keeping silent about it.

Gabriel however went back to the silver city for their banquet. Both domains have one common banquet, the banquet of Samael. For the silver city, the fall of Samael, and for Purgatory, the rise of Lucifer.

Seven great archangels gathered with the other angels and god himself. The said 7 great are; Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Selaphiel, Jophiel, and Barachiel.

Purgatory however, is unlike hell. Purgatory is a place where demons work, torturing humans as they die the second time, a demon is born, and the baby demon is to live with his parents who works at Purgatory.

The banquet is peaceful until god lashed out "This Banquet is not supposed to be for your brother's fall, it's for his domain" he said "But father, why won't we celebrate his fall?" Gabriel asked "Your brother wanted the throne, and so fought for it, all I did was adjust his job and give him a throne that suits the job" he replied.

"So he get a kingdom for bad behavior?" Michael said.

"Stop brother, it's punishment enough that he can't return here without dying" Selaphiel said. "But Gabriel, you sure you don't want to reveal your other [Gabriel?]" Jophiel asked "It's fine brother, this [Gabriel] can handle [Morningstar], the other would just stand in my way" he said. "But the other [Gabriel] would be faster that your current [Gabriel] right?" Jophiel asked "Well, yes, but that [Gabriel]'s strength isn't as close as [Morningstar]'s strength" he said.

However in hell, Shiro has been swamped by demons and arch demons, wanting to know the truth behind how he got all five of the founder's curses. The others' false curses have disappeared in his presence, vanishing slowly, disintegrating in the presence of the true curse. King Eiji however told them that he might be favored by the founder, hence, giving him all of his curses.

After the banquet, Shiro seemed tired from all the demons asking him countless questions about the founder's curses. King Eiji ordered a guard to fetch Shiro and take him to the five king's conference room. He didn't ask why and complied. When he got there, King Eiji asked "Shiro can you read this?" and handed him a book. Knowing Shiro, he wouldn't be able to read it, but his eyes turned, and activated.

[1] Chantless Incantation: [28] Old Lilim Translation

After activation, he was able to read the transcript aloud so that they'll know that he's reading it.

"How could you read that?" Hanzo asked "There is a spell within the cursed eyes that lets me translate the contents of the book, it activated automatically upon opening the book, and the language seems to be old Lilim, the language used by the first Demon king, Lucifer Morningstar. Most commonly known as Samael Lightborn" he answered.

"First king, you are quite the actor aren't you?" Eiji asked "What do you mean Eiji?" Hokuto asked "Only the demon kings know the name of the first king, other than that, there is none, you all don't know the first king's name, you just call him [the first king]" Eiji said. "Now that I think about it…" Hanzo said "Don't be misled by my act, I am still Akumu Shiro, both me and the boy's soul is one in the same, the boy's body won't be able to hold out if the other spell were to activate automatically, I've helped him suppress the automatic activation for now" King spoke.

The five kings kneeled and gave their late greeting to the first King. "Stand all of you, once I give the consciousness back to the kid, treat him as if he was me, every order must be fulfilled, every plan must go flawless" he ordered them "As you wish" Eiji spoke. King gave his mental conscious to Shiro and reverted back to being a soul. "You all spoke to him didn't you?" Shiro asked "Yes, and he's ordered us to protect you at all cost" Eiji spoke.

Shiro went back to his house at the human realm and found Tomoe passed out on the floor, he carried her to his room and let her rest. When she came to, she realized that she isn't at the front door, but inside a room she never saw before. The room had another room inside of it, a bathroom, a kitchen and a study hall, it's like a different house, but her instincts tell her that she's still inside Shiro's house.

"So you're awake" Shiro said as he gets out of the bathroom all dressed "Where is this?" she asks "This is the restricted room, my room" he replied. "This is a completely different house!" she exclaims "Well, once we go through that door, the house is still the house" Shiro said.

Coming outside, Tomoe felt like she had gone inside a [Warp gate], a spell used to make one object go through a series of portals to the desired location.

Shiro locked himself inside the room. And asked if King wants to inhabit a body. "In my years of wandering as a soul, there is no such magic" he argued. "That's not until now, right?"

"Boy, I can't really tell if you're a fool or if you're actually amazing"

Shiro took a forearm from a ghoul corpse and tried augmenting it into an invoker that can automatically be summoned by will. [Forge] was used by Shiro to refine the arm and gave it a soul chamber using [#30: Soul manipulation] and [#31: Dungeon creation] with the use of [#3: Spell Fusion] "Kid, You are to create a theory that even I couldn't think of from my time, and yet, you just did so, with the use of the ancient spells the eyes have stored" he said as he laughed in relief.

The Arm was given and Shiro took a portion of their soul and King suddenly moved from one portion to the other, leaving Shiro inside the Gauntlet.

"Sorry kid, I still have some problems to solve for your sake" he said and left the gauntlet.

Once back to the human realm, Akumu Shiro was no longer a citizen, instead all his files are under the name, [Nightmare von Lucifer], [Samael Lightborn] or [Lucifer Lightborn]

He went inside the classroom with a different vibe, Gabriel feeling this vibe had to ask "Akumu Shiro, where were you these past 3 days?" "Akumu Shiro? You must be mistaken brother" he says and shows him his name tag "Brother, you ceased the child?" he asked "Well, there are still some tasks left undone, so I have to take over for him, so that the child won't get hurt too much" he explained.

"No more mind games brother, tell me where the child is" he asked angrily "The child is safe, locked in the midst of my mind. After the problem is resolved, I will leave the control to him, for now, bear it with me brother. I don't want to be in the same room as you. Although, we have something to talk about. After school, at the roof top" he said.
